More Straw Tote Bags for Spring March 29th, 2011 By

For us, spring symbolized a resurgence of outdoor activities!  We love going to the park, beach and farmer’s markets as soon as any semblance of sunshine comes our way.  The perfect accessory for these sun-filled spring days are straw tote bags!  Straw tote bags are great because they are lightweight and are easy to clean.  Plus, the tote size of the straw bags make it ideal for carrying all sorts of spring goodies from sunscreen and towels, to the really great bunch of veggies from the farmer’s market.

Here are five of our favorites we can’t stop lusting after:

J. Crew Farmer’s Market Straw Tote Bag

Orvis Giraffe Straw Tote Bag

Kate Spade Point Breeze Small Straw Tote with Chain
